The Kamnara of Sakwa are making ground to build for future generations

Greetings from the Kamnara of Sakwa! The Kamnara people of Sakwa on 27th December 2024 gathered at Village Park, Ajigo (near Bondo). Hosted by Kwaka Joseph, they hearkened to the consultative forum call, arriving in good numbers and early enough for a successful day. The gathering was chaired by Mr. Nying’ro James Onyango, a former (retired) assistant commissioner of Police. The introductions were excellent.

MOON; 27-08-2015

I promised to do an all-cycle moon documentary. But what happens when there is no passion to continue and a camera absent? It is like new diary keepers who soon lose interest in the act. But should I site the mishappenings as a reason? Absolutely not.

I woke up wobbling. I least expected sickness to continue to this day. For a week now sleep had been so rare and my body absent from me. I continued to wish sunsets never to come because loneliness would take me up.

She seemed not interested to reply a text of whether she took a snap. Her response today was as ignorant as the micro-organisms eating my body from within. No problem

Just as I slept hoping today would be a better day, the moon was bright up.
